Hello, I’m new to the hobby and recently got these 2 corals about a week and half ago and was wondering what the white spots are on the red coral and the white edges on the green one. I recently moved the red coral lower in the tank but not sure what those spots/edges are? Has anyone else seen before or is it a lighting or placement issue? Currently 2 clowns in the tank with clean up crew. Other soft coral are doing good.

New growth is what you are seeing.
What is the red coral?
I love the potato chip Pavona.
Here is mine.

Nice! What is the growth rate like on your potato chip? The red one I believe is a montipora.

Quite fast if your system is stable.
This is a piece in my 15. 4 months growth. System is 7 months.

Wow it looks like all your coral grew fast is that same orange coral in both pictures?
